About Work-in-Progress Proceedings

The Work-In-Progress Proceedings has been created to offer our speakers the opportunity to publish their paper online and receive feedback via our moderated comment box. It also enables fellow postgrads and interested members of the public who could not make it to the seminar to have access to the papers in full. We hope to foster a national and international community of postgraduate students of the Ancient World.

The Proceedings is not a professional journal and does not have an editorial process. It will not bar the speaker from any future publication of the material presented. The papers published online are to be transcripts of the actual papers given, allowing minor modifications, so as to give an accurate representation of what was presented in the seminar.
